Thanks for responding, Duncan and Mike Burger. I'm using "telnet 10.0.0.10" so I don't think that's the problem. The message I get in win98 is "Could not open a connection to 10.0.0.10."
I changed the /etc/hosts.allow line to read: "ALL 10.0.0.20" but still got the same problem. Is there any log file that can possibly show me the problem?
